Nope. Lynx Turbo Sub is totally unrelated to the arcade game.

I think the sega game you mean is Sub Roc, no?

Seems to have 'borrowed' the plot:

Arcade:Set in future, Earth under attack from invading Aliens, use you sub to destroy them.

Lynx:It's the 28th century, Earth is being invaded by Aliens, use your Sub to destroy them....

That's why i said i'm not saying it's a straight port, (looks like more of a reboot) but i cannot say it's totally unrelated.

Had quick blast on the Lynx ver.this afternoon via emu.now having watched the arcade footage, think i'd prefered the arcade version ported.

Both seem very similar in approach-shoot shit above and below water, but love the arcades speech, plus Lynx version seems little short on variety in foes, but would need to spend more time on it to be sure.

Yeah, while the arcade coin-op was produced by Entertainment Sciences in 1985 and the Lynx game was released by Atari in 1991 I'm not sure they were "totally unrelated" either. In fact a quick Google search turned up several similarities beyond the evidence that's clear to observe from viewing video footage of the two versions,

Turbo Sub released in 1985 as an arcade shooter game by Entertainment Sciences.[1] Then later in 1991 for the Atari Lynx. The arcade version was a one player game set in the future where you control a submersible ship against a horde of aliens. The Atari Lynx version is the same but can be played with two players and tells us the story is set in the 28th century on Earth

Every production Turbo Sub I've seen has been in a Star Wars cabinet... The Atari stickers are still inside the cabinets.  I've seen two versions of Turbo Sub cabinets.  The first version uses the Star Wars monitor bezel and just placed a new instruction sticker, also the control panel was the same as the Star Wars with new overlays.

... A home version of this game was released by Atari for their handheld system Lynx

Standup version of the Turbo Sub arcade coin-op clearly showing the yoke from Atari's Star Wars coin-op -

Atari's sitdown version of their Star Wars arcade coin-op for comparison purposes -

Turbo Sub shipped in two different cabinet configurations. One was a cabinet with a slide-out drawer called the "Solo" system designed by San Diego's Pacific Coast Games. Other games were mounted in Atari Star Wars cabinets. Both cabinets used the Star Wars yoke controller.

So, while the Lynx version of Turbo Sub is not a conversion of the original arcade coin-op it's clear that the history of the two games have certain things in common in addition to the gameplay of both versions being remarkably similar too.

Ah...my star wars machine! Except mine plays Empire strikes back as well!

Games I would have loved to have seen on the Atari 7800:

[TrekMD]

On the 7800, I would have loved to see Crystal Castles and Zaxxon.  Both were done on the 8-bit computer systems and/or the 5200, so they should have been possible on the 7800 (but with POKEY!).

Arcade games I wish Sega had converted to the Mega Drive:

[Rogue Trooper]

Shinobi:Revenge Of was by far the better game, so i personally did'nt miss it.

Quartet:Had MS release did'nt it? but recal it doing rounds on C64, so maybe considered too old for conversion?

Enduro Racer:Well, MD hardware would have handled it far better than the MS, so odd it was'nt brought over.

Gunvalkyrie, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Black And White on the Dreamcast... Oh and the non existent Burning Rangers 2, Panzer Dragoon Saga 2 and Shenmue 3 + 4 lol... not asking much I know

Adventure 3D... for the Jaguar and PC....actually a work in progress....sigh....
Watching that dragon fly around the 3D Atari 2600 Adventure world is great.
Too bad it may never get completed.

EDIT: Sorry folks....thought better of putting up these pics...

[TrekMD]

I really like how that dragon looks!  Great job!

You'd like how it actually gracefully flies around the 3D version of the true to the original 2600 kingdom.
IT would have made a smashing Jaguar game. Too bad too many Jaguar fans suck.
